Chapter 317
“Dr. Lowe, are you okay?” Claudette hurriedly jogged over and supported
Emmanuel.
.
The man was already seriously injured while trying to save Mackenzie, and
after being booted down, the freshly healed wounds reopened.
“I’m okay,” Emmanuel responded, still enduring the pain.
Claudette, however, couldn’t take it anymore and reprimanded Mackenzie,
“How can you treat Emmanuel like that, Ms. Quillen? He’s badly injured!”
”
Mackenzie originally felt bad for hurting Emmanuel. After all, she was partially
the cause of his injuries. However, when Claudette stepped up for him, she
turned grim and sneered, “Get this straight, Ms. Lenoir. It’s his fault for not
letting go. Who does he think he is? Serves him right!”
She intentionally threw the harshest words at Emmanuel. That was
Mackenzie–showing no mercy to her enemies. From the moment Emmanuel
betrayed her, he became her enemy, and she wouldn’t be Mackenzie if she
spared him.
Hubert, on the other hand, was in seventh heaven. Did a hillbilly like
Emmanuel think he could actually win Mackenzie’s heart? Reach for the stars,
eh? Well, fall with a splat, I say!
Mackenzie really left, and she forbade anyone from helping Emmanuel and
Claudette.
Emmanuel remained silent the whole time, feeling a sudden discomfort in his
heart. He had never experienced this feeling before.
“Well, you guys are on your own, Ms. Lenoir.”
The rescue team captain’s boss was a member of the Quillen family, and he
was also well aware of Mackenzie’s domineering temperament. He wouldn’t
dare defy her commands. All he could do was apologize to Claudette before
leaving.

Claudette wasn’t afraid, though. She would be happy to stay there for the
rest of her life if she could be with Emmanuel.
Then again, it was already daylight, and just as Mackenzie and the others left,
the next rescue team arrived to save them.
Terence had been eagerly awaiting good news from Flower Mountain,
wondering if Emmanuel had successfully won over his granddaughter.
Alas, he received bad news soon after that.
“Bad news, sir. Ms. Mackenzie has returned!”
“What?” Terence shot up from his seat at once and rapped his walking stick
on the floor angrily. “It’s only been three days. What is she doing back so
soon?”
And coming straight back here at that! Did I not tell her to only come back to
the Quillen residence if she brought me a great–grandchild?
With that, Terrence stormed out of the living room with Alfred to find
Mackenzie returning home with a layer of frost and the words ‘stay away‘ on
.her face.
